From science museum.org.uk
The first self-propelled wheelchair was invented in 1655 by Stephen Farfler (1633-1689). Farfler had broken his back as a child, and this had rendered him paralyzed from the waist down.
At the age of 22, Farfler used his expertise as a clockmaker to create a wheeled chair that would allow him to move independently. The frame was based on a three-wheel chassis and worked by turning handles attached to a geared front wheel using a system of cranks and cogwheels.

@azonenberg there is only one future for wayland, and it's for all the "protocols" to be stuffed into an adhoc set of libraries and utilities that converges on something vaguely resembling an xserver, except it will never quite get there because it's this massive steaming dump of entropy into the entire linux application ecosystem. something will always implement it wrong, or the versions of the helper libraries wont line up or whatever. the stink will never wash out completely

@aeva the best wayland is 2035 wayland when they've finally got all the bugs ironed out and implemented all the obviously necessary protocols that some core dev decided didn't fit his ideology but then he retired and everyone else went and did what had to be done all along

everyone who told me to switch to KDE because wayland is good actually you just have to use the good wayland which is KDE and not gnome? i feel betrayed, and also i now have significant doubts about your attention to detail and general observational skills
